Before the sun's rays filled the world, Ying and Paimon had already reached the top of Tianheng Mountain.

"Really? Why didn't Hines come along?"

Paimon curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction.

"You miss him already? Why don't you be his guide?"

Ying's sour tone made Paimon feel a little embarrassed, so he had to hug Ying's arm and shake it slightly.

Looking at Paimon who was trying to get away with it, Ying put one hand on Paimon's head and rubbed it vigorously.

“Oh, you…”

Paimon escaped from Yingmei's clutches, but considering that what he had just said did make Ying uncomfortable,

"Humph, I won't bother with you this time."

"What Hines said is indeed right, it feels really good." Ying looked at her right hand with lingering satisfaction.

......

"It's so funny, what is charisma? My brother Xi isn't around, but everything Ying and Paimon say is about him."

"But why doesn't Hines come along?"

"Just keep watching, you'll probably know soon."

......

"But how should we get to the Jade Pavilion above us?"

"Let's go ask the Qianyan Army down there!"

Ying followed the direction of Paimon's finger and saw a team of Qianyan soldiers stationed in the wild.

The two of them decisively went down the mountain and soon arrived near the base.

"Hello, may I ask?"

"Huh? You still dare to show up?"

"???" Wait, who are you? Have we met before?

Ying and Paimeng were confused and couldn't remember where they had seen him.

"Hmph, the guy who knocked us out in Jueyunjian last time is gone now, right? This time, we're definitely going to catch you. Comrades, charge!"

Only after hearing this ordinary-looking NPC introduce himself did Ying have some impression of him.

"Paimon hides first..."

Just as he was about to remind Paimon to stay away, he found that the white glutton who was originally next to him had disappeared.

Running really fast...

Ying drew a long sword from the void and blocked the spear that was stabbing towards her.

The elemental power of rock gathered at the soles of his feet, and he stepped out suddenly. A circle of ochre-colored ripples spread out on the ground, and the earth trembled.

The enemy in front of him naturally couldn't stand steadily. Ying quickly picked up the spear and smashed the hilt of the sword on the back of the man's neck.

Just when Ying was about to continue attacking the rest of the Qianyan Army, suddenly, a voice of "Stop" came from behind him.

"Lady Keqing!"

The Qianyan Army, which was originally confronting Ying, immediately put away their weapons.

"What happened?"

Purple hair, cat ears, beautiful girl, Ying felt that this woman was difficult to deal with the first time she saw her. This was a woman's intuition.

......

"Cat Cat!"

"Wife!"

"You guys are really enough. Why do you call every female character your wife?"

"Nonsense, we didn't even shout when Ying'er came on stage."

"..."

......

"Lady Keqing, these two are the suspects who escaped during the Xiandian Ceremony."

"Oh? So you two are here to turn yourself in?"

Keqing raised the sword with one hand, pointing the tip directly at Yingmei.

Paimon shouted hurriedly,

"Wait, wait, wait, Tianquan Ningguang invited us to the Qun Yu Pavilion, and we have an invitation!"

Without time to complain about when Paimon came back, Ying took out the invitation letter as quickly as possible.

"It is indeed Ningguang's handwriting. Put away your weapons."

Keqing carefully examined the invitation letter Ying handed over and returned it after confirming that there was no problem.

"Then who are you?"

"What a coincidence! I'm also one of the Seven Stars of Liyue. Let me introduce myself again, Keqing, Yuheng, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue."

"I've heard about Ningguang's invitation to you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Paimon once again played the role of a supporting actor, flattering the emperor without leaving any trace.

"Wow, I didn't expect to meet a wealthy and powerful person in the middle of nowhere."

......

"Even though Paimon eats a lot, it's still somewhat helpful."

"How to say?"

"Yingmei rarely talks to outsiders. It's basically Paimon who does all the talking, so Paimon is our external vocal organ!"

"I know, Paimon is Ying's God's Mouth!"

"The Mouth of God is too abstract."

......

"A few days ago, a group of treasure thieves were sneaking around here. I don't know what they were doing. To prevent any trouble, I brought a team of Qianyan soldiers to wipe them out."

"By the way, Lord Yuheng, do you know why Lord Tianquan invited us?"

In order to leave a good impression on Keqing, Paimeng didn't dare to call her by her name.

"Just call me Keqing. Ningguang asked you to meet because she hopes you, the hero who saved Mondstadt, will remain more neutral. At least... don't completely side with the immortal."

"We didn't take sides, and the immortal actually intended to protect Liyue."

Paimon's explanation was not accepted by Keqing.

"By blessing you mean condescending arrogance?"

"How could such a high and mighty immortal care about mortals? In their eyes, everything Ningguang does is just a cover-up of the truth."

"Forget it, let's not discuss the immortals. Disrespecting the immortals is just my personal attitude."

Ying lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Ningguang, does she wish to negotiate with the Immortal?"

"Ningguang naturally hopes for this, but how is it possible? The era of immortals has long passed. If we rely solely on immortals, what will happen to Liyue's future?"

"That's all I have to say. I didn't intend to say so much, but since you're such a good listener, I couldn't help but say a few more words."

......

"A good listener means someone who only says one sentence after talking for a long time."

"I can't stop laughing. I didn't expect Keqing to be such a chatterbox. She's really cute."

"My wife Keqing loves me. I finally got it after ten consecutive hits!"

"Shut up, Ou Huang!"

......

"Alright, you should all hurry to the Jade Pavilion. Ningguang's invitations are already booked until next year."

"A wealthy merchant from Liyue brought gifts and hoped to ascend to the Jade Pavilion in exchange for favors."

"benefit!"

Paimon exclaimed suddenly when he heard the key words in Keqing's words.

Ying pulled Paimeng embarrassedly and said, "People are still here, don't be so obsessed with money."

Paimon scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh right, a meeting gift is a tradition in Liyue. I'm not doing this for the benefit, I'm doing this to respect tradition..."

"Paimon!" Ying stopped Paimon from continuing to make up that lame excuse.

Paimeng curled his lips and said, Ying, don't forget, we still owe more than 300 million in debt, but considering that Keqing is still here, let it go. Family disgrace should not be made public.

"By the way, how do we get to the Qun Yu Pavilion?"

“?” Keqing was slightly stunned.

"Didn't Ningguang tell you?"

"Um, Ganyu told us the password..."

Paimon added in her mind, although she only said it because Sines asked her.

"I see. Actually, you don't need to come to Tianheng Mountain. Go back to Liyue Harbor and find the guide at Yuehai Pavilion..."

After saying this, Keqing politely said goodbye to the two of them.

"By the way, what gift should I give Ningguang?"

"The point is really not about giving gifts..."

"I have to remind you that yesterday you said we couldn't use Hines' money for nothing and we had to pay it back."

"Yes, I remember."

"300."

Paimon simply said the familiar number.

Ying was stunned for a moment, then slowly squatted down, looking at Paimeng with tears in her eyes, "Can I take back what I said about paying you back?"
